$1 HOPS IM LIKELY
THINK SOME GROWERS
Yield Running 800 To 1400
Pounds Per Acre In Yards
Around Aurora.
Picking is underway in practically al
the hop yards of this section. The hope
are coming down fairly heavy, though
the average is by no means as heavy as
was anticipated, but tho (juu-lity is re
ported as excellent. The foliage is light
and picking clean is the rule. Somc
rnrds show tho effects of the dry weath
er. Yields will run from 800 to 1400
pounds per acre is the common impres
sion among growers. The best yards of
tho state are estimated at a ton per
acre.
Tho bulk of the crop hr.ving beca con
tracted for months, there are all sorts of
opinions among growers us to tho open
ing price. Some predict that hops will
sell for (id cents Or better within a
mouth.
Only a few growers in this section
have not contracted their crop, but those
few anticipate higher prices for their
hops than they have ever before re
ceived. Some even have visions of dol
lar hops.
Even J. M. Poorman of the Wood
burn bank, is quoted as asserting. that
dollar hops are a possibility this season,,
probably busirg his prediction upon tho
fact that half tho hop acreage ojt Be
hind wus plowed out and put into grain
during the war, and that many Belgium
and French hop fields were in 'the de
vastated area. Observer.
